Quiz
This film was meant to perform the same function in relation to the earlier and similar film Il serpente di fuoco - Il viaggio (1967). Jack Nicholson had written a script that director Richard Rush thought was too "experimental" for mainstream cinema, so the concept of a 'youth" film based in San Francisco and dealing with flower power and drugs was taken over by other writers. Nicholson eventually did not receive any screen credit for his work, although he took what was essentially the male lead role in the film; however, he did get to write the part of Stoney into it for himself as part of the package.

Blooper
During the performance of The Strawberry Alarm Clock's song "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow" in the film, the appearance of the lead guitarist's guitar changes halfway through it.

Citazioni
Ben: Stoney! Stoney! Warren's freakin' out at the gallery!

Versioni alternative
The film was unreleased in the UK until 1972, after the junkyard fight between the thugs and the hippies was heavily cut at the behest of the BBFC. All later UK home video releases present the scene completely uncut.

Stupid, but VERY colorful and never dull

A 17 year old deaf mute (Susan Stasberg!?!) tries to find her brother (Bruce Dern) in 1968 San Franciscos Haight-Ashbury area. A musician (Jack Nicholson) and his friends try to help her.

The plot is unbelievable from the word "go" and, despite location shooting in Haight-Ashbury, this is a very Hollywoodized look at hippies. Everybody is so healthy, friendly, helpful and they live in colorful, spotlessly clean huge houses happily. That was NOT the way it was--any documentary on the 60s could tell you that. Realism aside, this is one of AIP's best pictures.

The dialogue is VERY dated (and hysterically funny) as are the situations, but the film never stops moving, is shot in deep rich color, has good acting (considering) and is never once dull. Check out a most interesting "funeral" in the film and a very funny sex sequence. However, at the end, it gets VERY serious and has a depressing ending. Too bad--it's totally at odds with the rest of the film. Still--well worth seeing.

It also stars Dean Stockwell (who has the best lines) and Garry Marshall (!!!) in a bit as a cop! Produced by Dick Clark!
